braddos Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 It is a picture of an item on a wood floor i want to make the background white and still have the item look good. I tryed it in paint (windows) and the edges were pixelly. I want the object to keep it's shape. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
